Analysts downplay AI bubble worries as Altman says some investors will be left 'very burnt'

cnbc.com Mackenzie Sigalos 2025-11-21 11:51:21

The artificial intelligence boom that Sam Altman helped ignite with ChatGPT in late 2022 is starting to make even him uneasy. Startups with little more than a pitch deck are raising hundreds of millions. Valuations have become "insane." Capital is chasing a "kernel of truth" with feverish speed. The OpenAI CEO still believes the long-term societal upside of AI will outweigh the froth, and he's ready to keep spending in pursuit of that goal.

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-19 00:15:25

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets you run a Linux environment directly on Windows. This is particularly useful for web development where you can develop and test applications in a Linux environment without leaving Windows. You can even run freeCodeCamp locally with it! But managing disk space can be a quite a challenge, as WSL uses virtual hard disks that do not automatically free up unused space.

This one 15-inch MacBook Air sale is really worth taking a look at, here’s why

With every new Apple product launch, deals slowly crop up over time – and the MacBook lineup is no exception. The best deals tend to come after a model is no longer the latest and greatest, and there’s currently an unbeatable M3 MacBook Air deal that’s hard to pass up on, and once it sells out, there likely won’t be any more to go around. Apple released the new M4 MacBook Air in March, and since then, retailers have been trying to move inventory of older M3 models. For the most part, they have

No matter what your opinion on AI is, you probably have one already. Positive or negative, AI discourse is hard to avoid. The most dedicated AI evangelists will tell you that: “AGI is around the corner. Your job? obsolete. You don’t think so? Well, see how much things improved from last year? imagine how it will be like in 5 years!” You’ve read everything that could be said about it already at least 10 times.

The most recent instance was earlier in August when auroras lit up the skies in 18 states.

According to NOAA, the Earth will experience a geomagnetic storm with a Kp 5 rating. For the uninitiated

Evidence Grows That GPT-5 Is a Bit of a Dud

Those who became familiar with the convivial and sycophantic tone of GPT-5's predecessor were particularly distraught by its "cold" and far less supportive demeanor, accusing OpenAI of cutting corners. The pushback was significant enough for OpenAI to both make previous iterations available once more to paying customers — and even to lean back into the sycophancy
